A tiny nodule found in Lymph nodes in neck

[Justin1967]

Upon routine neck examination a tiny nodule was found in my upper neck..
I will be doing an ultrasound shortly, should I be concerned?
My latest Tg was 0.5

I had TT June 07
3 x pap micro cancers

Anyone know?

Hi again old friend,

Your Tg is good but you need to be off meds and hypo for a proper reading (with an suppressed TSH your Tg can be suppressed too).  Check with your endo and ask about Thyrogen shots and an uptake scan to see if the nodule is reactive for papillary carcinoma.  If your Tg climbs above 2 while off of suppression then they start suspecting a recurrence.

You can PM me if you have specific questions - I don't check the board that often.

Fingers crossed it's nothing!
